The problem is saying that what we’re capable of makes us “better” and “superior.” Says who? That “superiority” will probably also be what kills us off.
In my opinion, our mental capability does make us better as we are able to adapt and innovate much faster than regular animals would, which can get us out of awful situations.
Yes, we are very adaptable, which has allowed us to spread over pretty much the whole world and shape it to our needs. However, we also are destroying the ecosystem that keeps us alive, which is getting us into an awful situation entirely of our own making.
We can and are doing terrible things, that I do agree with. But we can also do many great things. The fact that we can do so much as a species does, from my point of view, make us superior.
